    How nature shaped echolocation in animals (2021)
    Frontiers Media SA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-31
    Description: Echolocation has evolved in different groups of animals, from bats and cetaceans to birds and humans, and enables localization and tracking of objects in a dynamic environment, where light levels may be very low or absent. Nature has shaped echolocation, an active sense that engages audiomotor feedback systems, which operates in diverse environments and situations. Echolocation production and perception vary across species, and signals are often adapted to the environment and task. In the last several decades, researchers have been studying the echolocation behavior of animals, both in the air and underwater, using different methodologies and perspectives. The result of these studies has led to rich knowledge on sound production mechanisms, directionality of the sound beam, signal design, echo reception and perception. Active control over echolocation signal production and the mechanisms for echo processing ultimately provide animals with an echoic scene or image of their surroundings. Sonar signal features directly influence the information available for the echolocating animal to perceive images of its environment. In many echolocating animals, the information processed through echoes elicits a reaction in motor systems, including adjustments in subsequent echolocation signals. We are interested in understanding how echolocating animals deal with different environments (e.g. clutter, light levels), tasks, distance to targets or objects, different prey types or other food sources, presence of conspecifics or certain predators, ambient and anthropogenic noise. In recent years, some researchers have presented new data on the origins of echolocation, which can provide a hint of its evolution. Theoreticians have addressed several issues that bear on echolocation systems, such as frequency or time resolution, target localization and beam-forming mechanisms. In this Research Topic we compiled recent work that elucidates how echolocation – from sound production, through echolocation signals to perception- has been shaped by nature functioning in different environments and situations. We strongly encouraged comparative approaches that would deepen our understanding of the processes comprising this active sense.

    Chocolate and Health: Friend or Foe? (2021)
    Frontiers Media SA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: In the ancient past, cocoa has been appreciated as a high-calorie food to boost energy in soldiers and for its undefined medicinal and mystical properties. During other times, chocolate has been considered as the forbidden “food of God”: a treasure of pleasure for the mind and the soul. The overall perception of the consumer for chocolate was of a “charming” and appealing food with lots of negative aspects related to high sugar content leading to consider chocolate as “junk food” for its “obesigen” calories. Recently, in association with the renewed interest of nutrition science in alternative source of health-promoting foods and ingredients, a large body of research has been conducted to unravel the pro and cons of cocoa in relation to human health. Epidemiological evidences indicate that cocoa consumption helps preventing cardiovascular disease for its high content in bioactive flavonoids. Clinical trials show that chocolate consumption might improve vascular function, decreasing platelet aggregation and display an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. The putative protective action of cocoa seems to be multi-factorial and involving different aspects of vascular, antioxidant and endothelial function. However, the mechanism(s) that account for the benefits of cocoa it is still unclear. The aim of this Research Topic is therefore to provide the reader with an objective picture of the state of art on the association between cocoa and health, mainly through the evidences of human trials; overwhelmingly considered the golden standard for nutritional science. The Research Topic will cover the analysis of the manufacturing processes of the chocolate and the antioxidant effects in humans as well as the majority of the putative health effects of chocolate and cocoa, such as anti-inflammatory properties, effect on immunity, platelet aggregation, blood pressure, endothelial function and cognitive behavior. Unraveling the functional properties of cocoa will help to understand if the 'food of God' is a primordial gift for the health of mankind.

    Spatial memory - a unique window into healthy and pathological ageing (2021)
    Frontiers Media SA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: The global population aged over 60 is set to rise dramatically in the coming decades. In many countries, the older population now faces the prospect of spending a quarter of their lives aged over 65, and a significant proportion will have to cope with cognitive decline associated with normal ageing or with dementia disorders. Given that these fundamental demographic changes will pose a significant challenge to health care systems, a detailed understanding of age-related cognitive and neurobiological changes is essential in helping elderly populations maintain cognitive performance. In addition, developing sensitive biomarkers to identify those at risk of developing dementia is crucial for early and effective interventions. To make inferences about the ageing process from the animal model back to the human, rigorous behavioral paradigms must be used to ensure that the same function is being examined across species. Given that similar navigational paradigms can easily be applied to humans and animals, recent years have seen an expansion of studies attempting to bridge the gap between age-related changes in animal and human spatial cognition. These studies begin to suggest that disruptions in spatial computations are among the earliest indicators of impending cognitive decline. In addition, although many animal studies have identified pathological mechanisms with paradigms involving spatial navigation, these mechanisms support many nonspatial cognitive functions as well. As a consequence, a successful characterization of how spatial processing changes in the ageing brain could reveal fundamental effects of cognitive ageing that could inform about general mechanisms underlying decline in perception, mnemonic processing and multisensory integration.

    Hidden Depths (2022)
    White Rose University Press | White Rose University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-12-06
    Description: In Hidden Depths, Professor Penny Spikins explores how our emotional connections have shaped human ancestry. Focusing on three key transitions in human origins, Professor Spikins explains how the emotional capacities of our early ancestors evolved in response to ecological changes, much like similar changes in other social mammals. For each transition, dedicated chapters examine evolutionary pressures, responses in changes in human emotional capacities and the archaeological evidence for human social behaviours. Starting from our earliest origins, in Part One, Professor Spikins explores how after two million years ago, movement of human ancestors into a new ecological niche drove new types of collaboration, including care for vulnerable members of the group. Emotional adaptations lead to cognitive changes, as new connections based on compassion, generosity, trust and inclusion also changed our relationship to material things. Part Two explores a later key transition in human emotional capacities occurring after 300,000 years ago. At this time changes in social tolerance allowed ancestors of our own species to further reach out beyond their local group and care about distant allies, making human communities resilient to environmental changes. An increasingly close relationship to animals, and even to cherished possessions, appeared at this time, and can be explained through new human vulnerabilities and ways of seeking comfort and belonging. Lastly, Part Three focuses on the contrasts in emotional dispositions arising between ourselves and our close cousins, the Neanderthals. Neanderthals are revealed as equally caring yet emotionally different humans, who might, if things had been different, have been in our place today. This new narrative breaks away from traditional views of human evolution as exceptional or as a linear progression towards a more perfect form. Instead, our evolutionary history is situated within similar processes occurring in other mammals, and explained as one in which emotions, rather than ‘intellect’, were key to our evolutionary journey. Moreover, changes in emotional capacities and dispositions are seen as part of differing pathways each bringing strengths, weaknesses and compromises. These hidden depths provide an explanation for many of the emotional sensitivities and vulnerabilities which continue to influence our world today.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-25
    Description: The primary objective of this publication is to share with a wider audience the valuable information and extensive dialogue that took place amongst over 140 individuals who attended the second in a series of planned workshops on the science and management of coastal landforms in Massachusetts. This workshop took place at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on January 24, 2001. The individuals who attended this workshop are actively engaged in planning, managing, regulating, engineering, educating, and studying coastal landforms and their beneficial functions. This workshop titled, Can Humans & Coastal Landforms Co-exist?’, was a natural follow-up to a previous workshop, Coastal Landform Management in Massachusetts, held at WHOI October 9-10, 1997 (proceedings published as WHOI Technical Report #WHOI-98-16). The workshop had a very practical, applied focus, providing state-of-the-art scientific understanding of coastal landform function, case history management and regulation of human activities proposed on coastal landforms, a multi-faceted mock conservation commission hearing presented by practicing technical consultants and attorneys that involved all attendees acting as regulators in breakout sessions, and, at the conclusion of the workshop, an open discussion on all issues related to the science and management of coastal landforms, including future research needs.
    Description: Funding for these proceedings was provided by WHOI Sea Grant and the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program Office, Department of Commerce, under NOAA Grant No. M10-2, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant Project No. NA86R60075.

    Concerns about quadrupole ICP-MS lead isotopic data and interpretations in the environment and health fields (2018)

    Publication Date: 2022-05-25
    Description: © The Author(s), 2018. This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. The definitive version was published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 15 (2018): 723, doi:10.3390/ijerph15040723.
    Description: There has been a massive increase in recent years of the use of lead (Pb) isotopes in attempts to better understand sources and pathways of Pb in the environment and in man or experimental animals. Unfortunately, there have been many cases where the quality of the isotopic data, especially that obtained by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS), are questionable, resulting in questionable identification of potential sources, which, in turn, impacts study interpretation and conclusions. We present several cases where the isotopic data have compromised interpretation because of the use of only the major isotopes 208Pb/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb, or their graphing in other combinations. We also present some examples comparing high precision data from thermal ionization (TIMS) or multi-collector plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) to illustrate the deficiency in the Q-ICP-MS data. In addition, we present cases where Pb isotopic ratios measured on Q-ICP-MS are virtually impossible for terrestrial samples. We also evaluate the Pb isotopic data for rat studies, which had concluded that Pb isotopic fractionation occurs between different organs and suggest that this notion of biological fractionation of Pb as an explanation for isotopic differences is not valid. Overall, the brief review of these case studies shows that Q-ICP-MS as commonly practiced is not a suitable technique for precise and accurate Pb isotopic analysis in the environment and health fields

    Notes: Summary The identification of genetically coherent populations is essential for understanding human evolution. Among the culturally uniform ethnic groups of west Africa, there are two geographically distinct populations with high frequencies of sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS). Although the HbS mutation in each group is found on distinguishable chromosomes 11, these populations have been assumed to be parts of a single population. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in these populations demonstrated that the two populations identified by alternative chromosomes 11 bearing HbS have distinct distributions of mitochondrial genotypes, i.e., they are maternally separate. These studies also showed that, contrary to expectation, the mtDNA of some individuals is heteroplasmic. For nuclear loci, a comparison of the frequency of alternative alleles established that these populations are genetically distinct. Both the mitochondrial and nuclear data indicate that these populations have been separate for approximately 50,000 years. Although HbS in the two populations is usually attributed to recent, independent mutations, the duration of the separation and the observed geographic distribution of the population allow for the possibility of an ancient origin of HbS. Assuming an ancient mutation and considering the known biogeography, we suggest that HbS protected selected populations from malaria in rain forest refuges during the most recent ice age.

    The compositional distribution of coding sequences and DNA molecules in humans and murids (1988)

    Notes: Summary The compositional distributions of coding sequences and DNA molecules (in the 50-100-kb range) are remarkably narrower in murids (rat and mouse) compared to humans (as well as to all other mammals explored so far). In murids, both distributions begin at higher and end at lower GC values. A comparison of homologous coding sequences from murids and humans revealed that their different compositional distributions are due to differences in GC levels in all three codon positions, particularly of genes located at both ends of the distribution. In turn, these differences are responsible for differences in both codon usage and amino acids. When GC levels at first+second codon positions and third codon positions, respectively, of murid genes are plotted against corresponding GC levels of homologous human genes, linear relationships (with very high correlation coefficients and slopes of about 0.78 and 0.60, respectively) are found. This indicates a conservation of the order of GC levels in homologous genes from humans and murids. (The same comparison for mouse and rat genes indicates a conservation of GC levels of homologous genes.) A similar linear relationship was observed when plotting GC levels of corresponding DNA fractions (as obtained by density gradient centrifugation in the presence of a sequence-specific ligand) from mouse and human. These findings indicate that orderly compositional changes affecting not only coding sequences but also noncoding sequences took place since the divergence of murids. Such directional fixations of mutations point to the existence of selective pressures affecting the genome as a whole.

    Notes: Summary A member of the young PV Alu sub-family is detected in chimpanzee DNA showing that the PV subfamily is not specific to human DNA. This particular Alu is absent from the orthologous loci in both human and gorilla DNAs, indicating that PV subfamily members transposed within the chimpanzee lineage following the divergence of chimpanzee from both gorilla and human. These findings and previous reports describing the transpositional activity of other Alu sequences within the human, gorilla, and chimpanzee lineages provide phylogenetic evidence for the existence of multiple Alu source genes. Sequences surrounding this particular Alu resemble known transcriptional control elements associated with RNA polymerase III, suggesting a mechanism by which cis-acting elements might be acquired upon retrotransposition.

    Notes: Summary A new statistical test has been developed to detect selection on silent sites. This test compares the codon usage within a gene and thus does not require knowledge of which genes are under the greatest selection, that there exist common trends in codon usage across genes, or that genes have the same mutation pattern. It also controls for mutational biases that might be introduced by the adjacent bases. The test was applied to 62 mammalian sequences, the significant codon usage biases were detected in all three species examined (humans, rats, and mice). However, these biases appear not to be the consequence of selection, but of the first base pair in the codon influencing the mutation pattern at the third position.

    Perception of shape from shading in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and humans (Homo sapiens) (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The perception of shape from shading was tested in two chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and five humans (Homo sapiens), using visual search tasks. Subjects were required to select and touch an odd item (target) from among uniform distractors. Humans found the target faster when shading was vertical than when it was horizontal, consistent with results of previous research. Both chimpanzees showed the opposite pattern: they found the target faster when shading was horizontal. The same difference in response was found in texture segregation tasks. This difference between the species could not be explained by head rotation or head shift parallel to the surface of the monitor. Furthermore, when the shaded shape was changed from a circle to a square, or the shading type was changed from gradual to stepwise, the difference in performance between vertical and horizontal shading disappeared in chimpanzees, but persisted in humans. These results suggest that chimpanzees process shading information in a different way from humans.

    The solar wind and human birth rate: A possible relationship due to magnetic disturbances (1990)

    Notes: Abstract Data obtained from the literature on the annual pattern of human conceptions and plasma melatonin at high latitudes indicated that simple annual rhythms do not exist. Instead, prominent semiannual rhythms are found, with equinoctial troughs and solsticial peaks. A prominent semiannual environmental event is the magnetic disturbance induced by the solar wind. The semiannual magnetic disturbances are worldwide, but most pronounced in the auroral zones where the corpuscular radiation enters the atmosphere. Magnetic indices that predominantly reflect these events were obtained from the literature and correlated with the melatonin and conception data. Significant and inverse correlations were found for Inuit conceptions and the melatonin data. The correlations obtained for 48 contiguous states of the United States indicated that only the extreme northern states exhibited this relationship. These data were compared with a previous correlational study in the United States which established that sunshine was correlated with conceptions in the middle latitude and southern states. An hypothesis of dual control by electromagnetic and magnetic energies is proposed: melatonin is a progonadal hormone in humans controlled by both factors, depending on their relative strength. Other studies are reviewed regarding the possible factors involved in determining the annual pattern of human conceptions. Demographic studies of geographic variation in temporal patterns of conceptions, with particular regard to variations of the magnetic fields on the earth's surface, may provide some insight into the efficacy of these different factors.

    Influence of the viscoelastic properties of the respiratory system on the energetically optimum breathing frequency (1993)

    Notes: Abstract We hypothesized that the viscoelastic properties of the respiratory system should have significant implications for the energetically optimal frequency of breathing, in view of the fact that these properties cause marked dependencies of overall system resistance and elastance on frequency. To test our hypothesis we simulated two models of canine and human respiratory system mechanics during sinusoidal breathing and calculated the inspiratory work ( $$\dot W$$ ) and pressure-time integral (PTI) per minute under both resting and exercise conditions. The two models were a two-compartment viscoelastic model and a single-compartment model. Requiring minute alveolar ventilation to be fixed, we found that both models predicted almost identical optimum breathing frequencies. The calculated PTI was very insensitive to increases in breathing frequency above the optimal frequencies, while $$\dot W$$ was found to increase slowly with frequency above its optimum. In contrast, both $$\dot W$$ and PTI increased sharply as frequency decreased below their respective optima. A sensitivity analysis showed that the model predictions were very insensitive to the elastance and resistance values chosen to characterize tissue viscoelasticity. We conclude that the $$\dot W$$ criterion for choosing the frequency of breathing is compatible with observations in nature, whereas the optimal frequency predictions of the PTI are rather too high. Both criteria allow for a fairly wide margin of choice in frequency above the optimum values without incurring excessive additional energy expenditure. Furthermore, contrary to our expectations, the viscoelastic properties of the respiratory system tissues do not pose a noticeable problem to the respiratory controller in terms of energy expenditure.

    Notes: Abstract This assessment focuses on the concentrations of some chemicals present in theAgaricus bisporus mushroom, the cancer-inducing doses of these chemicals or mushroom used in the animal experiments, the total amounts of these chemicals or mushroom needed to induce cancer in these mice, and the estimated total amounts of these chemicals or mushroom needed to induce cancer in humans. By adding the estimated amounts of chemicals needed to induce cancer and by comparing it with the amount of raw mushroom needed to induce the same effect, it becomes obvious that we have accounted for less than 2% of the carcinogenic components of theAgaricus bisporus mushroom. Since some unavailable data handicapped this assessment, it should be regarded as tentative and subject to further adjustment.

    Notes: The radical copolymerizations of commercially available cationic monomers (M1) with acrylamide (M2) have been investigated at pH 6.1 in aqueous solutions. The cationic groups in copolymers were analyzed by a colloid titration method and the reactivity ratios were determined by the Fineman-Ross method. The values of r1 and r2 were 1.71 and 0.25 for methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride—M2, 1.68 and 1.26 for N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate—M2, 1.13 and 0.57 for methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride—M2, 1.10 and 0.47 for N,N-dimethylaminopropylmethacrylate—M2, 0.47 and 0.95 for N,N-dimethylaminopropylacrylamide—M2, 0.48 and 0.64 for acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride-M2, and 0.58 and 6.7 for dimethyldiallylammonium chloride-M2 systems. The Alfrey-Price Q and e values were calculated and the linear relationship between log Q and ultraviolet absorption maxima of cationic monomers was found.

    Notes: Random and alternating thermotropic liquid-crystalline copolyethers have been synthesized from 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl and a 1/1 mol ratio of 1,5-dibromopentane and α,ω-dibromoalkanes by a two-phase (organic solvent-aqueous NaOH) phase-transfer-catalyzed polyetherification. Random copolyethers were prepared from α,ω-dibromoalkanes having six to twelve methylene units. Their phase behavior was compared with those of the perfectly alternating copolyethers containing five methylene units in one spacer and eight, nine, or eleven methylene units in the other, respectively. An odd-even dependence in thermal transitions has been observed in both oligomeric systems. In all cases, alternating copolyethers, even though comparatively lower in molecular weight, have given rise to higher melting and isotropization temperatures. Since the increase in the melting temperature is larger than the increase in the isotropization temperature, the thermal stability range of the mesophase has narrowed for alternating copolyethers with respect to their random copolyether counterparts.

    Notes: The reaction of polymercaptans and 2-alkenyl azlactones has been further investigated, and several new multiazlactones which are liquids at room temperature have been prepared and characterized. Michael addition yielding the multiazlactones was found to take place slowly in the absence of and rapidly in the presence of acid catalysts. If basic impurities capable of forming mercaptide ion were present, however, the reaction underwent a substantially different course producing primarily ring-opened products. A source of these basic impurities was determined to be the method of preparation of the alkenyl azlactone itself. When the azlactone was prepared from its acyclic N-substituted aminoacid precursor by cyclodehydration by use of ethyl chloroformate and triethylamine, a small amount of triethylamine remained that dramatically altered the course of reaction. Nonbasic cyclodehydration agents such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were effective at eliminating this side reaction, as well as was the practice of adding excess acid to the reaction system to neutralize the basic impurities.

A complete acylation of amino groups in PEI by the 9-carbazolylacetyl groups was achieved by the p-nitrophenyl active ester method but PEI was only partially N-acylated by the 2-(9-carbazolyl)propanoyl groups under similar reaction conditions. The carbazole substituted 2-oxazolines, namely, 2-(9-carbazolyl)methyl-2-oxazoline 18 and (R,S)-2-[1-(9-carbazolyl)]ethyl-2-oxazoline 19, were prepared by a base induced cyclization of ß-chloroamides. The ring-opening isomerization polymerization of 18 and 19 in the molten state with a cationic initiator (dimethyl sulfate, methyl triflate, or ethylene glycol ditosylate) gave 20 and 21. Gel permeation chromatography of 20 and 21 obtained with different monomerto-initiator ratios gave evidence of a chain transfer reaction with the monomer. The polymers were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

    Notes: Permeations of water-soluble, ionic fluorescent probes from a large, ultrathin nylon-2,12 capsule membrane were largely affected by the ambient pH of the outer medium; permeations of cationic and anionic probes were accelerated by a factor of 50-100 in the basic and acidic medium, respectively, relative to that in the neutral-pH region. The permeation of NaCl and nonionic fluorescent probes was hardly affected by the ambient pH. The nylon capsule membrane was elucidated to have an asymmetrical structure: the dense-thin inner layer and the porous-thick outer part. The pH-sensitive permeation could be explained due to the ionization of a small amount of residual end-groups (COOH and NH2) existing in the dense-thin inner layer of the nylon capsule membrane.

    Notes: The cationic polymerization of p-methylstyrene initiated by acetyl perchlorate at -78°C led to long-lived (living-like) polymers with a narrow molecular weight distribution (M̄w/M̄n = 1.1-1.4) in methylene chloride containing a common ion salt (n-Bu4NClO4) or in a less polar solvent (CH2Cl2/toluene, 1/4v/v). Under these conditions, the number-average molecular weight (M̄n) of the polymers increased in proportion to monomer conversion and was regulated by the monomer-to-initiator ratio. When fresh feeds of the monomer were repeatedly added to a completely polymerized solution, the polymerization ensued at the same rate as before and the linear increase in M̄n with monomer conversion continued. The effects of solvent polarity and the common ion salt on the polymerization showed the suppression of the ionic dissociation of the propagating species, resulting in a “nondissociated species,” to be the key factor for the formation of the long-lived polymers.

    Notes: Mechanistic features of the reaction with thionyl chloride in pyridine were studied in a model reaction of benzoic acid with p-chlorophenol or aniline. The yields were significantly affected by the amounts of pyridine, favorably by four equivalents, and the nature of pyridine, suggesting that pyridines are not only HCl scavengers, but are also involved in the reaction itself. The reaction was assumed to proceed via a carboxylic sulfinic-anhydride intermediate different from acyl chloride, and the intermediate was found to be not so reactive that it was completely alcoholyzed by the phenol at high temperatures of more than 60°C. The reaction was successfully applied to the preparation of aromatic polyesters of high molecular weights by the direct polycondensation of aromatic dicarboxylic acids and bisphenols in pyridine at 80°C.

    Notes: Novel silicon-containing poly-1,2,4-triazoles have been synthesized by the reaction of polyhydrazide precursors and aniline in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) at 260°C. The polyhydrazide intermediates were prepared from aromatic dihydrazides and silicon-containing acid dichlorides via interfacial polycondensation. These polymers and their intermediates were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), solubility, and by solution viscosity. The thermal behavior of these polytriazoles has been studied by dynamic thermogravimetry.

    Notes: Molecular weight distribution of Nylon 12 was determined with hexafluoroisopropanol/toluene mixture as eluent by gel permeation chromatography. Calibration curve for Nylon 12 was easily obtained from that of polystyrene because the method of universal calibration was applicable among these polymers. The molecular weight distributions of Nylon 12 were always broader than expected by the theory of polymerization, i.e., most probable distribution. This result was not caused by broadening effect in gel permeation chromatography, but by polymerization itself.

    Notes: A polymethacrylate derivative containing 6-cyanouracil was prepared, and its photochemical reaction was studied. The 6-cyanouracil derivative was found to show high reactivity for the photochemiccal reaction. The photochemical-reaction product was identified as a cyclobutanetype photodimer, and the photodimer was formed in high yield even from the monomeric compound of 6-cyanouracil under UV irradiation in low concentration. The quantum yield of the photodimerization of the 6-cyanouracil derivative was greater than that of the thymine derivative. The photodimerization of the 6-cyanouracil derivative could not be quenched by usual triplet quenchers, but was found to be quenched by the polymeric derivative of adenine, suggesting a specific interaction.

    Notes: Ortho-vinylbenzaldehyde has been prepared in a three-step synthesis. Vacuum-degassed monomer was polymerized with azodiisobutyronitrile initiator in bulk and in solution in 2-butanone. The kp/kt1/2 value at 60°C is 4.7 × 10-2 L1/2 mol-1/2s-1/2. This is about twice the ratio for styrene. Chain transfer to monomer appears to be significant. Insoluble, crosslinked products were produced at high conversions, because of chain transfer to polymer. Tg of poly(ortho-vinylbenzaldehyde) was found to be 142°C.Polymers made under N2 atmosphere often contained acetal groups. These can be produced by acid catalysis in the presence of small concentrations of ortho-vinylbenzyl alcohol. A laddertype structure is produced.The monomer is capable of photoinitiation. Insoluble gels were produced in bulk monomer at all conversions. The initiation rate was very high and crosslinking resulted from combination of radicals produced from photolysis of the pendant 0-benzaldehyde groups in the macromolecules.

    Notes: The initiating ability of the graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of SbCl5, FeCl3, and AlBr3 was investigated. It was found that GICs were able to initiate the polymerization of monomers of different types-cyclosiloxanes, 1,2-epoxides, vinyl ethers, lactones, and vinyl monomers. GICs of SbCl5 initiated also the polymerization of tetrahydrofuran. The interaction of the monomers (with the exception of the lactones) caused a size increase of the GICs and deformations in their lamellar structure. Relatively high-molecular poly(vinyl ethers) and polydimethylcyclosiloxanes were obtained. The mechanism of action of GICs was discussed.

    Notes: Pyrolyses of B-triamino-N-triphenyl-, B-triamino-N-trimethyl-, and B-trianilino-borazines were performed between 150 and 300°C. Initial stages of degradation were accompanied by liberation of ammonia in addition to the expected aniline or methylamine; this was most pronounced for the methyl borazine. Aniline elimination proceeded more readily with the B-anilino than the B-amino isomer. Data obtained support a ring opening mechanism resulting in telomerizaton accompanied by aniline liberation and formation first of singly then doubly bridged dimers and finally doubly bridged tetramers. Thermal exposure up to 1000°C failed to give pure boron nitride; carbon was invariably retained.

    Notes: Radical polymerications including co- and terpolymerizations of a γ-methylene-Δα,β-butenolide derivative, ethyl (E)-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ylideneacetate(EODY) was investigated. The monomer had no homopolymerizability but copolymerized with styrene (ST) and 1,3-cyclohexadiene to yield alternating copolymers. From IR and 1H-NMR spectra of the copolymers, the 1,4-addition was confirmed to exclusively occur for the conjugated double bond of EODY. Terpolymerization for the system involving an acceptor monomer such as maleic anhydride, α-chloromaleic anhydride, or 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane in addition to ST and EODY gave the terpolymer containing about 50 mol% of ST, in spite of a high fraction of ST in the feed. It was inferred that such an apparent behavior of EODY as an acceptor monomer could be due to a resonance-stabilization of the propagating radical having EODY as a terminal unit, which is also responsible for the poor yields of the copolymers and terpolymers.

Attachment of 1a to poly[(3-hydroxypropyl)oxirane] was accomplished under very mild conditions via an acid-catalyzed caarbodiimide coupling. Photolysis of polymer-bound 1a with an electronic flash unit proceeded without detectable disulfide bond cleavage. Mild reduction of the disulfide bond of an analogue of 1a which carried no azido group confirmed that 1a should be useful in photolabeling studies of polymer-cell surface interaction.

The hydroxy polyamide was prepared by selective N-acylation of an active diester of N-hydroxy-5-norborene-2,3-dicarboxamide (HONB), N,N'-(isophthaloyl-dioxy)-bis(5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide) (IPBONB), with 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane (AHP). Model compounds (-) and (±)-(1,3-dibenzoylamino-2-propyl)2-(thymin-1-yl)propionate[(-) and (±) (BAPTP)] were prepared by direct, low-temperature esterification before synthesizing the polymer.

    Notes: Thermal effects accompanying the vacuum deposition of poly-para-xylene (Parylene N) at different temperatures have been studied by following the changes in the temperature of the substrate. Similarly to the case of polychloro-para-xylylene (Parylene C), two distinct exothermic effects were observed; one discrete, resulting in sharp exothermic spikes and the other continuous, resulting in the shift of the baseline. The spike effect, attributed to the solid-state polymerization of para-xylylene, is observed at the low-temperature range, the upper limit of which moves higher for higher deposition rates. The shift of a baseline as a function of deposition temperature exhibits two maxima, one independent of deposition rate and the second moving toward higher temperatures (that is, toward the first maximum) for higher deposition rates. First maximum falls at about —72°C and is attributed to the melting point of para-xylylene crystals. X-ray diffraction studies of polymer samples have shown that the existence of the second maximum is always followed by the appearance of an additional crystalline phase in the respective range of deposition temperatures. When the deposition rate is high enough, the second maximum merges with the first one, or virtually disappears. Under such conditions the new crystalline phase is no more detectable. It is postulated that the evolution of the additional amount of heat resulting in the appearance of the second maximum is due to the cyclization reaction and the formation of cyclic oligomers. This reaction very likely requires a particular spatial arrangement of monomer molecules and, therefore, it is suggested to take place in certain domains of the crystalline lattice.

    Notes: Polyphenylenes made by reaction of benzene, biphenyl, or p-terphenyl with metal halide catalyst-oxidant systems are complex mixtures of dissimilar oligomers, which include halogenated and polynuclear structures, according to positive and negative-ion laser desorption/Fourier transform mass-spectral analyses. Polymerization of benzene with metal-chloride salts that terminate chain elongation by chlorination of the end rings appears to decrease formation of polynuclear structures by providing a competing pathway for chain termination. Polynuclear structures occur to a greater extent with oligomerization of biphenyl than with benzene, presumably because of isomerization and increased opportunity for π overlap during propagation. Electrical conductivities of polyphenylenes made by various routes should not be discussed solely in terms of the linear poly(p-phenylene) structure.

    Notes: The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl bromide) (PVB), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc), poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF), poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVC2), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2) has been studied by direct pyrolysis-mass spectrometry (DP-MS) and flash pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques. Vinyl and vinylidene polymers exhibit two competitive thermal degradation processes: (1) HX elimination with formation of polyene sequences which undergo further moleculaar rearrangements, and (2) main-chain cleavage with formation of halogenated or oxigenated compounds. The overall thermal degradation process depends on the prevailing decomposition reaction in each polymer; therefore, different behaviors are observed. The thermal degradation of polyacetylene (PA) has also been studied and found important for the elucidation of the thermal decomposition mechanism of the title polymers.

    Notes: Poly(4-vinylphenylacetate-co-maleic anhydride) was synthesized by free-radical initiation to yield a 1:1 copolymer over a 0.2-0.8 mole fraction range of monomer feed in maleic anhydride. Evidence of 1:1 charge transfer complex between 4-vinylphenylacetate and maleic anhydride was obtained in the UV region at 355 nm. The 13C NMR chemical shifts and 1H NMR integration data indicate that poly(4-vinylphenylacetate-co-maleic anhydride) has an alternating and stereoregular structure. The molecular weight of poly(4-vinylphenylacetate-co-maleic anhydride) was controlled by using specific solvents and initiator concentrations.

    Notes: 3-Methyl-1-butene (3M1B) was found to undergo monomer-isomerization copolymerization with 2-pentene (2P) in the presence of Ziegler-Natta catalyst to give a copolymer exclusively consisting of 3M1B and 1-pentene (1P) units, the same as that obtained from copolymerization of 3M1B and 1P. The apparent copolymerization parameters were determined. The amount of 3M1B unit incorporated in the copolymers was found to increase in the copolymerization system of 3M1B-2P more than in that of 3M1B-1P. The polymers consisting of nearly complete 3M1B units were produced at a rapid rate through monomer-isomerization copolymerization of 3M1B with 2P in the presence of TiCl3 - (C2H5)3Al catalyst.

    Notes: Various feed ratios of 2,2′-bithiophene (BT) and pyrrole (PY) were electropolymerized to low conversion and the polymers analyzed for their mer ratios. The polymeric product was rich in polypyrrole (PPY), but the composition could be varied by control of the electrode potential. The increase in BT content is not linear with composition, and the physical evidence indicates oxidative copolymerization and not the formation of the two homopolymers. The data can be interpreted on a copolymerization equation despite the absence of steady state conditions. Sets of reactivity ratios were determined for the polymers formed at two potentials. The electrical efficiencies for polymer formation approach stoichiometric values for oxidative polymerization.

    Notes: Vinyl monomers bearing N-substituted phenoxazine or 2,8-dimethylphenoxazine units were synthesized starting with the corresponding phenoxazines. N-substituents were 2-vinylbenzyl-oxycarbonylethyl group prepared via 2-carboxyethyl group, 3-methacrylamido-, 3-acrylamido-, or 3-(4-styrenesulfonamido)-propyl group prepared via 3-aminopropyl group, vinylbenzyl, or 2-vinyloxyethyl group attached by the displacements of sodium salts of the phenoxazines to the chlorides, and 2-methacryloyl- or 2-acryloyl-oxyethyl group prepared via 2-hydroxyethyl group. Free-radical polymerixations of these novel monomers proceeded smoothly, except those with 2-vinyloxyethyl group, which were susceptible to BF3-etherate. Changes of the visible absorption spectrum of iodine in THF with addition of the monomers and polymers were considerable, with the appearance of new absorption peaks or shoulders in major cases.

    Notes: Separation of water-ethanol mixture through a membrane was carried out by pervaporation using a membrane which provided a hydrogen-bonding interaction. A membrane obtained from poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylonitrile) was effective for a selective separation of water from aqueous ethanol solution by pervaporation technique. Spectroscopic and flux analyses verified that this high selectivity toward water was attributed to the hydrogen-bonding interaction between water and acrylic acid (carboxylic acid) unit in the membrane. On the other hand, a membrane from poly(acrylic acid-co-styrene) preferentially permeated ethanol in the low water feed concentration region.

    Notes: Nylons containing carbonyl groups in backbone chains were prepared and their response to heat was studied. The carbonyl groups were introduced using either HOOC(CH2)4CO(CH2)4COOH or H2N(CH2)5CO(CH2)5NH2 in the initial monomer compositions. In addition to pyrolysis of these polyamides, the progress of chemical and physical changes as a function of temperature was continuously monitored and analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy on cast films placed in an environmental chamber. Introduction of the carbonyl groups into the polymer backbone resulted in a significant reduction of the thermal stability of the corresponding polyamide. Possible mechanisms for the thermal degradation entailing these carbonyl groups and N-acylamide compounds are discussed.

Toward obtaining tractable materials, the effect of monomer structure on polymer tractability has been studied. Copolymerizations were also carried out to “soften” these materials. Electrical conductivities in the semiconducting range, 10-4- 10-8 (ohm cm)-1 were observed. Doping with iodine showed small increases.

    Evolution of H2O and CO2 during the copper-catalyzed oxidation of isotactic polypropylene (1986)

    Notes: The kinetics and mechanism of H2O and CO2 evolution during uncatalyzed and copper(oxide)-catalyzed (Cu, CuO, CuO0.67) oxidation of isotactic polypropylene have been investigated in detail for various catalysts over a range of temperatures (90-150°C). These volatiles were determined chromatographically; H2O and CO2 represent the main volatiles of the oxidation, comprising about 80 mol % of all volatiles. Uncatalyzed oxidation evolves ca. 1 mol of H2O and 1 mol of CO2 for each unit mole of polymer oxidized, while catalyzed oxidation produces 2 mol of H2O and ca. 1.2 mol of CO2 for each unit mole of polymer. These results indicate that secondary as well as tertiary H atoms on the polymer chains are involved in hydroperoxide formation and decay. The oxidation mechanism has been formulated and evaluated on this basis. It consists essentially of two parallel oxidation reactions involving tertiary and secondary groups (H atoms and hydroperoxides), respectively. The mechanism can be represented by first- and pseudo-first-order reactions in series: (1) oxygen absorption showing induction periods; (2) hydroperoxide formation and decay (plateaus are reached); (3) H2O evolution from the decay of hydroperoxides; and (4) subsequent CO2 production involving chain scission. Arrhenius parameters for all oxidation reactions (uncatalyzed and catalyzed) are also presented. It appears that CuO0.67 is the most efficient catalyst of those investigated.

The addition reactions, carried out with phenol was shown to be second order with regard to methyl α-eleostearate concentration and first order with regard to phenol concentration. The reactions were additions of two phenol molecules to one methyl α-eleostearate molecule, and it was presumed that they proceed in the two steps given below in which the first step is rate determining: (1)\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 2{\rm E} + {\rm P} \to [{\rm X}]({\rm intermediate}) $\end{document} (2)\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{l} [{\rm X}] + 3{\rm P} \to 2{\rm P - E - P} \\ \left( {_{{\rm P : phenol}}^{{\rm E : methyl }\alpha {\rm - eleostearate}} } \right) \\xb \end{array} $$\end{document} The apparent reaction rate constant (l/mol min) was found to be 0.036 and its value was nearly equal to that in the case of m-cresol.

    Notes: 5-Phenyl-2-pentene (5Ph2P) was found to undergo monomer-isomerization polymerization with TiCl3-R3Al (R = C2H5 or i-C4H9, Al/Ti 〉 2) catalysts to give a polymer consisting of exclusively 5-phenyl-1-pentene (5Ph1P) unit. The geometric and positional isomerizations of 5Ph2P to its terminal and other internal isomers were observed to occur during polymerization. The catalyst activity of alkylaluminum examined to TiCl3 was in the following order: (C2H5)3Al 〉 (i-C4H9)3Al 〉 (C2H5)2AlCl. The rate of monomer-isomerization polymerization of 5Ph2P with TiCl3-(C2H5)3Al catalyst was influenced by both the Al/Ti molar ratio and the addition of nickel acetylacetonate [Ni(acac)2], and the maximum rate was observed at Al/Ti = 2.0 and Ni/Ti = 0.4 in molar ratios.

    Notes: The polymerizability of a variety of mono- and multi- nitriles in the presence of free radical initiators at high temperature is determined by the concentration of available cyano-groups. Mononitriles do not polymerize, but multinitriles do so readily. If alkyl substituents are introduced in a molecule that easily polymerizes, this concentration and the ability to polymerize are lowered; if several or bulky substituents are introduced, the polymerization is completely prevented. Multinitriles containing ester groups undergo decarbomethoxylation in these polymerizations. The polymers are black and highly insoluble. From the few reactions that were attempted on these polymers, we can conclude that the structure is probably not the simple conjugated imine structure proposed by earlier investigators, but more experiments are needed to prove this point. The black polymers had conductivities less than 10-9 Ω-1 but, after heating at 700°C, conductivities in the range from 10-3 to 10-6 Ω-1 are observed.

    Notes: Polymerization of new 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne homologs containing two silicon atoms [CH3C≡CSi(CH3)2CH2Si(CH3)3 and CH3C≡CSi(CH3)2CH2CH2Si(CH3)3] was investigated by use of Ta and Nb catalysts. CH3C≡CSi(CH3)2CH2Si(CH3)3 was polymerized quantitatively by TaCl5 alone to provide a polymer having molecular weight over 106. CH3C≡CSi(CH3)2CH2CH2Si(CH3)3 was polymerized in good yield by an equimolar mixture of TaCl5 with an appropriate organometallic cocatalyst such as Ph4Sn to give a polymer with molecular weight of ca. 4 X 105. Nb catalysts were less active toward these monomers than the corresponding Ta catalysts. These two kinds of polymers had alternating double bonds along the main chain according to IR and 13C-NMR spectra. Both polymers were white solids completely soluble in low-polarity solvents like toluene, and solution casting afforded uniform, tough films. These polymers were thermally fairly stable, and their softening points were above 350°C. Films of these polymers showed smaller oxygen permeability coefficients [Po2 = 4 × 10-9 - 8 × 10-9 cm3(STP) · cm/(cm2·sec·cmHg)] but larger separation factors [(Po2/Po2) = 3.4 - 3.6] than a poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] film.

    Notes: Fluorescence analysis has been employed as an analytical technique to elucidate the photolysis mechanism of several aromatic diisocyanate-based polyurethanes in solution. Based on a comparison with model arylmonocarbamates and arylbiscarbamates, the photo-Fries rearrangement and cleavage-type products found for the small-model arylcarbamates were also identified for the photolyzed polyurethanes in solution. Viscosity and absorbance change results for photolysis of both air and nitrogen-saturated polyurethane solutions are consistent with a general two-step mechanism for the photolysis of aromatic diisocyanate-based polyurethanes.

Reaction conditions, such as the molar ratios of Ph3P and C2Cl6 to the monomers, monomer concentrations, reaction temperatures, reaction times, and kind of solvents, had a significant effect on the yield and the molecular weight of the resulting polyureas. The polyurea having the highest solution viscosity of 0.91 dL/g was obtained with the molar ratio of Ph3P/C2Cl6/monomers = 2.4/2/1 in the mixed solvent of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and pyridine at 80°C.

Three kinds of reactions, cyclization, dehydrogenation, and oxygen uptake are found to occur almost simultaneously in the stabilization process in air by digital difference spectrum method. The effect of the comonomer is confirmed to accelate the dehydrogenation reaction and also the formation of acridone ring in the thermal stabilization in air by kinetic study.

    Notes: Acryloyl-type polymer fixing 1-β-carbonylethyl-5-fluorouracil residues through D-glucofuranoses via ester bonds was synthesized by means of polymerization of the corresponding monomer and polymer reaction. In order to provide the water-soluble objective polymer, the copolymerization of the acryloyl-type monomer with acrylamide was carried out. The extent of release of 5-FU residues from the copolymer was investigated in the enzyme or nonenzyme system in vitro. Furthermore, the antitumor activities of the water-insoluble homopolymer and water-soluble copolymer obtained were tested in vivo.

    Notes: Nonaqueous dispersions of poly(vinyl acetate) particles stabilized with poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate) and labelled with fluorescent dyes in the core and stabilizer polymer phases were prepared. The materials were characterized using a broad range of techniques (NMR, UV, and fluorescence spectroscopy. GPC, particle sizing, and DSC). The data show that dispersion polymerization of vinyl acetate in the presence of stabilizers containing certain fluorescent dye derivatives, instead of unlabelled stabilizer, results in changes in the mean particle size, size distribution, composition, and molecular weights of the colloidal polymer particles. It was found that increasing the amounts of fluorescent groups in the stabilizer resulted in smaller mean particle sizes and larger amounts of irreversibly attached stabilizer. When the average number of labels in stabilizer exceeded one per chain, a new ultra-high molecular weight polymer fraction appeared. The fluorescence spectra for several of these materials are reported. We describe how fluorescence decay curves can be used to assess block formation and local phase separation in particles labelled with phenanthrene groups. These materials are intended to be used for more detailed studies by fluorescence spectroscopy. Those results will be published in due course.

    Notes: Radiation-induced graft polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) onto low-density polyethylene(LDPE) film has been investigated. The appropriate reaction conditions at which the graft polymerization was carried out successfully were selected. It was observed that the grafting process was enhanced remarkably by using distilled water as diluent. In this grafting system ammonium ferrous sulphate (Mohr's salt) was used as inhibitor to minimize the homopolymerization of AAm and the suitable concentration of such inhibitor was found to be 3 wt %. The dependence of the grafting rate on the monomer concentration was calculated to be 2.9 order, regardless of the irradiation atmosphere (N2 gas or under vacuum). When the radiation grafting process was carried out under vacuum, higher degrees of grafting were obtained as compared to those in nitrogen gas or in air atmosphere. Network structure was formed in the graft copolymer and the gel formation was determined in the p-xylene-extracted grafted films. Results showed good evidence that the grafting process takes place by the front mechanism.

    Notes: Preparation of new chelating polymers bearing dihydroxamic acid groups and the adsorptive ability for uranium in sea water are described. Chloromethylated polystyrene crosslinked with divinylbenzene was treated with diethyl malonate in N, N-dimethylformamide to give the polymer having diethyl malonate groups. This polymer was then treated with hydroxylamine in methanol to afford the dihydroxamic acid polymer. The presence of hydroxamic acid groups was confirmed by the appearance of IR absorption band at 1680 cm-1. The dihydroxamic acid polymer contained carboxylic acid groups as well as hydroxamic acid ones, and the contents of carboxylic acid and hydroxamic acid groups were estimated from elemental analysis to be 2-3 and 2-4 mmol/g, respectively. The polymer showed the adsorptive ability of 40 μg-U/g in 8 days for uranium in sea water. In addition, the polymer showed the selective adsorptivity for iron, nickel, copper, and zinc as well as uranium. The macroreticular-type polymer showed much higher adsorption rate for uranium in sea water than the gel-type ones did, suggesting that the rate depends on the diffusion of the uranium in the polymer support.

    Notes: Precipitation polymerization of acrylamide initiated by a thermal initiator, Vazo-33 (DuPont Vazo Initiator), was achieved at a solvent composition of acetonitrile/water = 4/6 (vol/vol). The polymerization kinetics were investigated in the acrylamide [M] concentration range 0.86-2.27M, Vazo-33 [I] concentration range 1.4-11.0 × 10-4M, and temperature range 30-40°C. Polymerization was carried out in reaction ampules and the rate was determined gravimetrically. Number-average molecular weight was obtained from intrinsic viscosity. The precipitation polymerization rate varied as [M]2.16 and [I]0.44. Number-average molecular weight was proportional to [M]1.22 and inversely proportional to [I]0.31. The overall reaction activation energy was calculated as 17.3 kcal/mol in the temperature range studied. The optimal reaction conditions studied were: acetonitrile/water = 4/6, temperature = 40°C, [M] = 1.95M and [I] = 2.8 × 10-4M. One hundred percent conversion was achieved in 90 min and a polymer with a number-average molecular weight of 1,200,000 was obtained.

    Notes: The reaction of benzoic acid and p-chlorophenol with phosphorus oxychloride (POC) was significantly affected by the presence of metal salt hydrates or a mixture of metal salts and water sufficiently aged. Among metal salts examined, LiCl was most effective for the reaction to give quantitative yield of the benzoate. The reaction was assumed to proceed via a complexation of POC with LiCl monohydrate followed by selective hydrolysis of POC by water bound to LiCl. The reaction promoted by a complex derived from POC and LiCl monohydrate in pyridine was successfully used as a new condensing agent for the synthesis of aromatic polyesters by the direct polycondensation or aromatic dicarboxylic acids and bisphenols. Under favorable conditions for aging of POC with LiCl monohydrate and for addition of bisphenols, polymers of moderate to high molecular weights were obtained in quantitative yield. The reaction was applied with limited success to the preparation of a copolymer of high molecular weight from hydroxybenzoic acids.

    Notes: Comparative studies on plasma polymerizations of phenylsilane (PhSiH3) and toluene (PhCH3) have been carried out to prepare plasma polymers containing aromatic groups. The IR and ESCA spectra show that PhSiH3 and PhCH3 are subjected to ring-opening reactions in a discharge state to form polymers involving alkyl chains as well as aromatic groups. The ring-opening reactions are more feeble in the PhSiH3 system than in the PhCH3 system, which may be due to stabilization of phenyl-Si bonds in PhSiH3 by contribution of pπ-dπ bonding. Aromatic groups incorporated into the plasma polymers from PhSiH3 are mono-substituted.

    Notes: DSC and IR data on benzyldimethylamine-catalyzed dicyandiamide-DGEBA prepolymer system have been utilized to investigate the influences of temperature and composition on the curing mechanism. Etherification as a competitive reaction is favored at lower temperature. On the other hand, the reaction pathway of dicyandiamide (DDA) varies with temperature, especially at the first stage of reaction. At 100°C, the reaction of DDA is shown to be essentially the substitution of the hydrogen atoms by ring-opening of epoxy groups, giving rise to N-alkyl cyanoguanidine. But at 140°C or 160°C, the initial reaction of DDA involves a transformation of nitrile groups to imine groups. A greater amount of BDMA and a higher amine-to-epoxy ratio favor the etherification. The glass transition temperature Tg is a complex function of these different mechanisms; higher Tg could be reached with a amino-to-epoxy ratio equal to 0.6 and after a curing cycle including a precure at 100°C.

The graft copolymerization was carried out in an aqueous medium by the mutual method in air. The effect of total dose and concentration of vinyl monomers on percentage of grafting has been determined. Water plays a significant role in the enhancement of graft copolymerization and the optimum amount of water to afford maximum grafting has been evaluated. The effect of CH3OH on aqueous grafting of MMA and EA by radiation method has been studied. The graft copolymer has been characterized by IR spectroscopic and thermogravimetric methods.

    Notes: Decene-1 was polymerized with the CW catalyst and fractionated by precipitation technique. Light-scattering and viscometric measurements on these fractions established the relationship [η] = 5.19 × 10-3 Mw0.77. The unperturbed mean square end-to-end distance is (〈Ro2〉/M)1/2 = (6.17 ± 0.34) × 10-9. Light-scattering data is consistent with a relatively stiff molecule with length of L = 1.75 × 10-5 cm for poly(decene-1) with MW = 397,000. Its mean square radius of gyration 〈Rg2〉 is 2.79 × 10-11 cm.2 The ratio of L2/〈Rg2〉 = 11 is close to the theoretical ratio of 12 for this kind of macromolecule.

    Notes: ESR spectra of gamma irradiated annealed and quenched forms of polypropylene film have been studied at the temperatures used for post-irradiation grafting experiments with butadiene, described in Part I. On warming from low temperature there is radical loss by termination and some radical transformation to radicals with optimum stability in annealed polypropylene at approximately 45°C. These radicals, which may be allyl type, are sited at the crystal faces, and decay more rapidly at higher temperatures in annealed polypropylene; in quenced polypropylene their concentration never exceeds one third the optimum observed in annealed polypropylene. Correlation with the grafting experiments suggests that allyl radicals are important for long-term grafting. Effects on the ESR spectrum of adding butadiene to the system show that in the long-term butadiene adds exclusively to the allyl radicals and that alkyl radicals still present at that stage are precursors to the allyl radicals. They do not react directly with butadiene presumably because they are sited in the inaccessible crystal core. Experiments at lower temperature show that butadiene does react with alkyl radicals in accessible regions.

    Notes: The non-Newtonian intrinsic viscosities [η] of poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate) were measured in the helix-coil transition region under various conditions in this work. The helix content fH, which represents the degree of conformational transition, was obtained by using a polarimeter. Our experimental results show that the non-Newtonian behavior of the polypeptide is markedly affected by its conformation; i.e., the non-Newtonian effect becomes larger as fH increases. The effect of external pressure ΔP on [η] was studied carefully; [η] increases with fH when ΔP 〈 1.5 psi, but it decreases when ΔP 〉 1.5 psi and fH 〉 0.8. The reason for this result is considered in the text.

    Notes: An analytical method based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed to investigate the competing isocyanate reactions under the influence of various catalysts. The kinetics of the model reaction between phenyl isocyanate and n-butanol was studied in acetonitrile at 50°C. Effects of various catalysts such as an organotin compound, dibutyltin dilaurate, and tertiary amines, 1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)octane,N,N′,N″-pentamethyldiprophylene triamine,N,N′N″-tris(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-3-hexahydrotriazine, and N,N,N′-trimethylaminoethyl-ethanolamine on the reaction rate and the formation of reaction products were investigated. The reactions were followed by determining the NCO disappearance using the standard di-n-butylamine back-titration method as well as measuring the formation of various reaction products using the HPLC method. The relative specificity of a catalyst in isocyanate reactions can thus be determined from the profile of the model reaction which depends upon the structure of the catalyst employed.

Model reactions were studied with 3,3′- and 4,4′-dichloroazoxybenzene and various phenol and thiophenol salts to find out the reaction conditions for polycondensation. IR, 1H NMR, and elemental analyses were used to establish the structure of the model compounds and the polymers. Thermal analysis indicated that the oxy derivative is less prone to thermo-oxidative degradation than the corresponding thio derivative of polyazoxyarylether. The polymers are crystalline and soluble in halogenated hydrocarbons and polar solvents.

    Notes: N-Vinyl carbazole methyl methacrylate, and the binary mixtures of these monomers were grafted onto cellulose acetate films by taking recourse to Co-60 simultaneous irradiation grafting technique. The effect of various parameters (e.g., solvents, radiation dose, compositions of the monomers, and concentration of the monomers) on the extent of grafting in unitary and binary systems were studied. The optimum conditions for grafting were evaluated. The sensitizing effect of one monomer in the presence of other in the binary system was identified. The relative molecular reactivity and reactivity ratios were computed and these were used in explaining sensitization and the effect of monomer compositions on the extent of grafting in the binary system.

    Notes: Both the rate constant of initiator dissociation, kd, and the chain transfer constant, Cx, are determined by monitoring the rates of monomer and transfer agent conversions in a chain polymerization. Statistical analysis that takes into account the errors of experimental variables has been used to treat the kinetic data for the polymerization of styrene initiated by benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) in carbon tetrachloride at 60°C. Values of kd and Cx produced by this error-in-variable method (EVM) are in accordance with those reported in literature. More important, the EVM algorithm always results in the smallest standard deviations of estimates, and hence, it is superior to the usual least-squares calculations. Other distinct features of the method are outlined. The initiator efficiency for Bz2O2 is estimated to be 0.72 under the present conditions.

    Factors affecting H2O absorption of the epoxy tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane cured with diaminodiphenyl sulfone (1986)

    Notes: It was found that the amount of water absorbed at room temperature in cured tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane/diaminodiphenyl sulfone epoxy resins increases as the curing time or temperature increases while the amount of tetrahydrofuran-soluble extractables and the room temperature density decreases. These data suggest that the free volume increases with the extent of cure and the resins become more accessible to water. While the driving force for water absorption is the electrostatic attraction between water and the functional groups in the epoxy, the results suggest that equilibrium H2O absorption is determined primarily by unoccupied volume of the epoxy resin.

    Mechanism of plasma-initiated polymerization: Concerning the nature of solvent effects on the lifelike polymerization of water-soluble vinyl monomers (1986)

    Notes: To provide a satisfactory basic understanding of the solvent effect of plasma-initiated polymerization, we have carried out several kinds of polymerizations of various water-soluble vinyl monomers. It has been shown that aqueous solution of such vinyl monomers underwent the polymerizations induced by methyl isobutyrate (MIB) plasma-exposed glass surface. The invisible ultrathin polymer film trapping an active radical species deposited on the plasma-exposed glass surface apparently induced the polymerizations. The efficiency, however, was largely dependent on the solvent used: the solvent can be considered to act as “an initiation-activator” for the lifelike postpolymerization. The nature of the solvent effect was ascribed to the physicomechanical property such as swelling ability and/or solubility toward the ultrathin film formed on the glass surface. Thus it has been suggested that the choice of good-balanced combination between the structural feature of the plasma-induced ultrathin polymer film and the solvent as an initiation-activator is important to achieve activity of a desired solution polymerization.

    Notes: In the carbon fiber production process from polyacrylonitrile (PAN), PAN precursor is heated first in air to secure stabilization in the succeeding carbonization process at higher temperature. The mechanism of the stabilization reaction and chemical structure of the stabilized PAN have been examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The stabilized PAN was determined to have a ladderlike structure consisting of 40% acridone ring, 30% naphtyridine ring, 20% hydronaphtyridine ring, and others. This structure well explains the stability of the polymer in the succeeding carbonization process on carbon fiber production with conjugated π-electron systems over the whole polymer chain and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. A comonomer addition to the precursor was found to accelerate the dehydrogenation reaction in the stabilization process.

    Synthesis of block cotelomers involving a perfluorinated chain and a hydrophilic chain. Part I. Use of fluorinated telogens with trichloromethyl end groups (1986)

    Notes: The synthesis of compounds involving a perfluorinated chain and a trichloromethyl group at the end of the chain is carried out by esterifying an alcohol with trichloracetic acid or by adding CCl4 to a perfluorinated alcohol acrylate. Cl3C—CO2—(CH2)2—C6F13 and Cl3C—CH2—CHCl—CO2—(CH2)2—C6F13 are obtained, respectively. These telogens are both used to initiate a polyacrylamide chain, thus allowing the synthesis of new highly hydrosoluble surfactants. The transfer constant of ferric chloride to the polyacrylamide chain can be calculated by studying the kinetics of the telomerization reaction. We found CFeCl3 = 16 at 125°C. Telomers can be prepared in which the polymer chain contains between 10 to 1000 acrylamide units; the degree of polymerization can be precisely predicted according to the amounts of products allowed to react.

    Notes: Thermal oxidations at 101°C of ethylene-carbon monoxide (E/CO) copolymer and low-density polyethylene (DYNK) were studied over the range of 0-30 mL oxygen absorbed per gram of polymer. Relative changes in reaction rates, chemical composition, and molecular weights of the polymers were observed using oxygen uptake, infrared spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. At comparable oxidation rates, differences in concentrations of most functional groups appeared to be small, except for the IR peak attributed to non-hydrogen-bonded hydroperoxide which was absent in the spectrum of E/CO copolymer. The extent of scission at comparable oxygen absorption was greater in E/CO than DYNK, since ketonic carbonyl groups were oxidized faster than methylene groups.
